ᐅ Can carpet tiles be installed directly over a vinyl floor?

Hello everyone,

Currently, our hallway has PVC flooring installed. I find it quite cold and would now like to lay a carpet over it. I really like these carpet tiles and would like to use them. Can I install these tiles over the PVC flooring? Do I need to glue them down?

Thanks in advance for your hopefully many answers.

Of course, you can lay carpet tiles over a PVC floor. Have you already chosen the carpet tiles, or are you still in the planning phase?

Hello miraculix,

You can lay the carpet tiles on top of the PVC flooring. However, make sure that the PVC floor is properly installed and has no damaged areas. If there are any damaged spots, repair them beforehand. It will also be easier to install the tiles if the subfloor is level and clean.
